...if we all met one day. A big CU get-together. Family, hot dogs, and balloons for the kids...What would that do? Would we be surprised?
Let's say, for the sake of argument, that we have a 98-year-old grandmother sharing the blessings of the faith with, say, an inner-city ex-gang member whose hair looks like a tree root. What would that be like?
What would happen when we came back to CU? (Just a wierd thought I had today.)

an inner-city ex-gang member whose hair looks like a tree root.  And why ballons for just the kids? How come is it, that kids only alwyas get the balloons? Hmm, nope, seriously, that's an interesting question. Maybe if one of us win the lottery, we can extend a general all-expense paid invitation, and find out? hehe. This would be vewee, vewee, interesting.

That sounds good. In the meantime, I think it would be great fun to speculate and paint word pictures of what everyone is like. Then each person we're describing can have a good laugh. Who wants to go first?

Word pictures. Hmmm. Well, bep reminds me of Captain Kangeroo. But probably more stern.  He's probably very lovaable for his family and relatives.  Wh is probably like, um, impatient, sharp, quick, and constantly moving about, athletic. Probably brunet and looks like Debra Winger, but not that old. All has already told us--pudgy, balding--likes to sit around a lot and watch television. Probably likes potato chips.  sincereheart is probably like WH, 'cept blond and a bit older. Maybe not as antsy, probably not as atheletic, but prolly not overweight. Tib is stocky, built, maybe muscle-bound. Dark hair--like Samson. Couldn't tell you what his face looks like, tho he spends a lot of time online, so he must be pretty ugly. Tho all the girls seem to like him which is usually how it is.

Let's see..... Symphony must be a male.  I won't guess on the age thing.  Tries to be athletic but never has been the athletic type so he watches what he eats to maintain his youthful physique. Sapphire W3APON... Dark hair and dark eyes? Ollie.... Uh, I need help here! I have NEVER been blonde! 'Cept for the hair turning white which my spouse says is me turning platinum blonde.

 Okay. Sym is...an intellectual sort. Health guru, maybe. I say dark hair. Ollie is an intellectual, too, of a more stoic sort. Age? I have no clue. Sincereheart. Energetic, fun-loving... Sym's better at this kind of thing than me! Tib is a blond. Short but stocky, a powerhouse. Everyone runs when they see him coming. Sapph, I envision with dark hair, wears t-shirts a lot, peaceful yet cynical. The stuff all great writers are made of. (Am I getting any better?)

Ollie is an intellectual, too, of a more stoic sort. Age? I have no clue.With hidden playfulness.....  Brown hair. Age? Hmmmm..... Late 20's? Just call me Bond....James Bond.So you're bald? Sapph, I envision with dark hair, wears t-shirts a lot, peaceful yet cynical. The stuff all great writers are made of.And well-mannered and mostly quiet till you get him going - then he can get silly. I'm not sure about the tees, though - unless they're tucked and unwrinkled. Definitely not sloppy! How about ebia?

yes. Hidden playfulness with Ollie, which is wonderful. I was thinking older, though. I was thinking maybe forties... Sapph is a young guy. So I can't picture him in a button-up shirt, much less a tie. Something with pictures on it. Movie T shirts and music t shirts. Maybe university or military. Yeah-military. Me-I like bandannas and head wraps. You know, the kind that go over your head and you knot them in the back. I want a black one with a jolly roger on the forehead, just because I think it would be incredibly cool for climbing. But the company I order from is out of those. They just have the plain black now.  But where else do you get the chance to wear one...

Wow, Whitehorse, I'm surprised. I do have dark blonde. Ok, I'm scared...  Anyways, you're gender is a mystery to us all. You know, the way you discribe yourself, you sound like one of my profs. He is a short little man who like to go hiking and looks like WIllie Nelson. BEP I have pictures is a slightly pudgy guy, not balding, but gray, and walks with a limp. I picture Willow and Sapph as 2 friends of mine, Racheal and Smitty. Racheal, dark blonde hair, brown eyes, short, shaply, and a atheltic. Smitty, taller, skinny, likes his black, and wears his trench coat more then underwear. He has brown hair and blue eyes. I always thought ebia was a Guy from New Zealand, but a few people corrected me, it's a women from English. So now, I picture her as a small, skinny women with black hair and brown eyes.

You were nearly sort of right with N.Z. - I live in Australia (see my profile: The Great South Land of the Holy Spirit = Australia), but yes, I'm English really. I've never revealed my gender on these boards.

Well, I don't look Willie Nelson.  I'm pretty certain of that! Actually, I'm very clean cut. I wear cologne and the full nine; it's just that I like bandanas, black, and silver jewelry. The problem is, I can't get away with wearing these things whenever I want to. I'd scare the living bajeebers out of everyone. But I like to wear a silver fish-it's my favorite. Very simple.
